of the Silent Parade
The Silent Parade or Silent protest was a march of 10,000 African Americans on July
28, 1917, in New York City starting at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street.
The purpose of the Silent Parade was to protest the evils of murders, lynching and other anti-black
violence. The parade was precipitated by the East St. Louis Riots in May and July 1917,
when between 40 and 250 black people were killed by white mobs.
The Silent Parade of 1917 was organized by W. E. B. Du Bois and the NAACP. They hoped
to influence U.S president Woodrow Wilson to carry through on his election promises
to African-American voters to implement anti-lynching legislation, and promote black causes. Wilson
did not do so, and repudiated his promises, and federal discrimination increased during
Wilson's presidency.
It was the first parade of its kind in New York, and the second instance of blacks publicly
demonstrating for civil rights.
